Camp Bentzon kawau Island.

Have you ever been to a camp on an Island. Well I have I just came back from the great Camp bentzon on Kawau Island. It was so great but tiring at the same time, you should keep reading and find out all of the awesome and fun activities we did at year 6 camp.   


Camp is a they that the year 6s do every year for the last 18 or more years. All of the year 6s went to camp bentzon excepted for some about four parents came to. It started november 19th through to the 22nd at kawau island. We did many activities like Abseiling that was scary, Sailing, kayaking, Confidence course,  Bush baseball, Volleyball, Bivouac, raft building ,Frisbee, Cricket, Swimming, Buma trail, spotlight, concert, Bombing of the wharf, Killer hill, morning fitness, Orienteering, and a great movie called The Princess Bride. I slept in a capen with Jazmine , Jayah , Victoria and Hannah.  


One of my highlights from camp was sailing it was so fun. I also liked kayaking but it was tiring. Sailing was awesome we learnt how to control the boat and the tiller then we set off into the water. The wind kept on catching my sail and I almost tipped over I was so scared. Every time I would switch from side to side I would hurt myself on the metal thing that kept the rope together. That was my favorite part on the water.    


One of my other highlights was doing nothing and just chilling. I also really liked swinging on the rope tied to the tree, there were two ropes one of them were short and the other was long the longer one was better than the short one. My mum came on camp to she was cool everyone liked her she was just chilling with me and that was cool. 


I would like to say thank you to the school and all the Teachers that came to camp. And a big thank you to all the parents and helpers that came otherwise we wouldn't have enough helpers to come with us to camp. I would really like to say a big thanks to the chef that cooked our food every morning and night that tasted great.   


I loved camp so much it was so amazing. But I hated the killer hill the killer hill is such a tiring hill when you get to camp you have to walk up the big hill and then walk back to camp. The other thing that I really hated was having to wake up about 7:00 and run up half of the killer hill. Apart from that camp was AMAZING !!!!!
